Most of them visit the White House, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Ver non, Arlington Cemetery, the Smithsonian Institution and the Tidal Basin where the cherry trees blossom briefly in late March or early April. A few determined ones also see the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court. All these places are well worth visiting. But there are many other things to see and do in Washington, which most tourists miss. Bill on Display For example, have you ever had the urge to see a real $100,000 bill? There's one on display, along with many oil er rare samples of U. S. sur rency, at the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. A tour through the bureau also gives you a close-up look at the way U. S. paper money and stamps are produced. One tip: don't ask ,the guides if they give out samples. This joke has been worn out. Another rarely visited mU' seum is at the Patent Office, in the Commerce Department building. There you can see the original models of many famous inventions as well as some weird contraptions which have been patented over the years. Stamp collectors, especially should make a point of visit ing the Post Office Depart ment, which has more than 100,000 stamps on display in one of the world's greatest philatelic exhibits. Exploration, Adventure If vour interests run to ex' ploration and adventure, don't miss the National Geographic Society's building on Six teenth st. In "Explorer's Hall" you'll find such things asthe flag which Commodore Peary d anted at the Norm roie .The National Archives Building on Pennsylvania ave, contains the originals of many great documents of U. S. his- tory, including the Declara tion of Independence, the Con stitution and Lincoln's Eman cipation Proclamation. A must especially if there are youngsters in the party, is a visit to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Just go to the Justice Department building on Pennsylvania avenue and tell them you want "the FBI tour." You'll see, among other things, John Dillinger's gun, plans for the Boston Brink's robbery and other souvenirs of notorious crimes and crim inals. Lovers of literature should not miss the Folger Shake speare Library, behind the Su preme Court building. It has a priceless collection of first fol ios of Shakespeare's plays. Doctors and nurses will want to see the National Insti tutes of Health in suburban Bethesda, Md. Farmers, Foresters Farmers and foresters should plan a side expedition to Beltsville, Md., 15 miles out of Washington, the site of the world-famous Experimental Station of the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture.

Don Johnson, a Columbus, Ohio, insurance executive who also is a seasoned trav eler. said it's best to start checking out coverage at the same time the itinerary decided becauij "it avoids any last minute emergency.' Johnson, who is a vice pres ident-underwriting of Nation wide Insurance company cited the examp'e of a recent seven week around - the- world trip. He planned to go entirely by plane. Distance by Plane But before he got back to Columbus he had traveled by car in Malaya, taken an un expected 250-mile train ride in India and used a boat in Australia. If hi had settled for only flight insurance instead of additional accident and common carrier coverage he and his family would have been unprotected in including some fine specimens that belonged to George Wash ington and other famous patri ots, in the Daughters of the American Revolution museum in rnnc-tit,tirrt Hall ,11 u..a...v...U. .... .... , J L.

June 24th Issue DON'T MISS "AMILY WEEKLY with your MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE By RALPH VILLERS United Pren International New York - (UPD - Going places this summer? If so, it would be a great idea to get your travel documents in or der weeks before departure. The really vital one is a U.S. passport, unless your travels will be confined to Canada, Mexico and the Ca ribbean area, where none is required. Unless you live in a big city where there is a Passport Agency office and consequent fast service by teletype, it may take several days to pro cess the application through the designated office in your community and get the pass port back In the mall. Need Birth Certificate More time probably is lost bv people who don't have their birth certificate to company the application than in the actual processing oy the federal government. For example, one Michigan native living in New York had to exchange letters three times with officials in her home state, with a delay of several days each time, before trac ing down her birth certificate. People headed for Europe will find that for the most part, a U.S. citizen does not need a visa. The exceptions are Iceland, Yugoslavia, Rus sia and the Soviet bloc coun tries of Bulgaria. Czechoslo vakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. The visa situation can get much more complicated for someone heading toward La tin America, Asia or Africa. While many of our Central and South American neigh bors do not require visas, practically all require tourist cards. Require Certificate A few even require a police certificate of good conduct. It can easily be obtained in smaller cities, where a resi dent usually is well known to officials, but can get tricky in some larger cities. In New York, It requires a finger printing session and a wait of several days while the prints are checked against the crim inal file. Ben idea when planning a trip into an area where a viea. tourist card or ottv doc uments might be required is to work through a travel agent, or the airline or ship ping company which will take you abroad. Sometimes required to get into a country is the Interna tional Vaccination CVtifi I cats. This Is ttt$ official rec ord of immunizations you have received, and officials here and abroad can be very touchy if you don't have the required shots. The basic required immu nization is small pox. With that one you can go just about anywhere in Europe and many other countries and have no trouble getting back into this country. Wander off the more popularly traveled trails and you need yellow fever or cholera shots. These can require from six to nine days to become valid, so should be taken well in ad vance of a trip. Also Recommended Although not generally re quired, the U.S. Publio Health Service also recommends ty phoid and paratyphoid, tet anus, typhus, diphtheria (for children), influenza and polio shots for general protection. The best way to learn what shots you need, or want as an extra precaution, is to get copy of the Public Health Service's booklet "Immuniza tion Information for Interna tional Travel." The booklet can be obtained for 25 cents by writing the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. Canada Opens SF Immigration Office Canada recently opened an immigration office in San Francisco, Calif., according to O. H. Tiessen, who is in charge of the office. He re cently finished a tour of duty with the Canadian govern ment in Cologne, Germany. The office is staffed by three Canadian officials, who are interested in furnishing information to United States citizens who are contemplat ing a move to Canada. This is one of four Cana dian immigration offices in the U.S. The others are in New York, Chicago and, Den ver. Last year some 12,000 U.S citizens decided to make Can ada their home. In the San Francisco office particular emphasis is given to those who will establish them selves in independent enter prises which may create cm ployment. Inquiries may be directed to the Canadian Government Immigration service office, 400 Montgomery It., San Fraisco, Calif. while traveling on the ground or water. With his knowledge of pol icies and of all the unexpect ed things that can happen while on pleasure or business travel, Johnson suggested a few general guides to people planning vacations. Generally, he said, check over all your policies auto, fire, life, health, accident to find who, what and where is insured. Especially ascer tain that all premiums are paid up for the time you are away to avoid cancellation of coverage. If you're going to take your family along with you, you want to be sure your health insurance covers the family, not just the head of the family," he said. Might Be Endangered For usual vacation trips, Johnson pointed out, health insurance covers the insured even out of the country. But for someone planning, a pro longed trip say around the world or for nine or 10 months the insurance com pany should be notified in ad vance. The reason is that the risks of prolonged absences are not contemplated by the average policy and coverage might be endangered. Most auto insurance poli cies cover the motorist any where in this country or Can ada, but Johnson said, be sure to carry a policy identification card along. And for Canada he advises taking proof of in surance along because some provinces have impounding statutes, which could tie up a car after an accident. Most auto policies have lim itations on Mexico. Johnson, and Mexican government, ad vise checking, representatives of Mexican companies in the border towns. As for driving in Europe, he pointed out that American Automobile association mem bers can arrange for cover age by a London firm at their local club before' leaving home. Car rental agencies in Europe also can arrange pro tection. Drive With Care And," Johnson added, "for goodness sake drive with care in Europe, there's noth ing so inconvenient as an auto accident in a foreign coun try." To clear up any fears about foreign travel, Johnson noted that life insurance has no geographic limitation it in force everywhere. Home fire protection poli cies remain in eneci wnue you are vacationing, if pre miums are paid. But Johnson advises, "Check your poll cy for vacancy provisions you intend to be gone for more than two montns. fro- longed absences could, under vacancy provisions, void policy in some states. Also, he pointed out, most home protection policies In sist on "ordinary precautions' by the owner during his ab sence, like maintaining neat and preventing pipes from freezing in cold weather Harrington, Wash. - (UPD -Visitors to Seattle's World Fair this summer are being invited to stop off in Eastern Washington en route and "take a coffee brtJk with a farmer." The project is, naturally enough, the idea of a farm ers wife, Mrs. Berna Easton of this little Eastern Wash ington farming town. She thought it would be a good idea to get Eastern and city visitors acquainted with real, honest - to goodness West ern farms. The idea was taken over by the Washington Associa tion of Wheat Growers, which is signing up its memDcrs in 14 counties who are v. illing to have visitors dwp in. Infor mation centers will be set up in each community to direct visitors to a host ranch. The visits may be for a few minutes or a few hours. The visitors will be given a chance to see the land, the machinery and the buildings that make up a modern wheat ranch, which in this area may range from 500 acres to 3,000 or more acres.

The blaze damaged several box cars, a quantity of repair materials and the building it self. The two - block - long bulking was used for box car repair work. The same build ing was the site of another fire in March. Firemen fought it for about an hour and confined it to one end of the building. Picnic Area DOWN WITH JAZZ London IUPII Scrawled on the wall of a local jazz record shop: "I Love Bach." A picnic area where chil dren can romp and play is lo cated near the Shilnh church site from which the battle took its name. The little log church that once stood there has been gone for years but in its place stands a neat brick church completed in 1949. Long a popular spot for tourists, Shiloh National park took on added importance for Civil War buffs this year, the 100th anniversary of the two dav battle. The park Is about 100 miles east of Memphis and 22 miles at the home north of Corinth, Miss. It is 'near here Prineville Man Kills Wife, Self Prineville -IUPII - Prine ville man killed his wife and then shot himself with a 25- calibcr pistol Monday, ac cording to Crook County Sheriff Tex King. King said Virgil Osborn, 48. fired two bullets into Mrs. Edna Osborn, 51, killing her instantly. Then he placed the pistol barrel inside his mouth and fired one shot. Osborn died about five hours later in a hospital here. King said Osborn and his wife had been separated per iodically and she was staying of her brother tanooga and Memphis, via Tennessee State Highway 22. Park officials suggest that visitors, before' touring the park, make a stop at the Shiloh museum where relics, exhibits and maps relating to the battle are on display and a historical film is shown throughout the day. May Attain Map Here they can obtain an easy-to-follow map for a self guided tour that includes 20 specific points of interest, such as various state monu ments and statues, site of the tent hospitals, confederato burial trench, the "hornets' nest" where some of the hard est fighting occurred, and "bloody pond" where the wa ter once ran red from soldiers who came to bathe their wounds. Further along, he can leave his car and walk down a small path to the remains of an oak tree where Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, who com manded the 40,000 confeder ates, was mortally wounded on the first day of fighting, April 6. Many persons like to end their stopover with a stroll through the stillness of tho national cemetery, establish ed 1866, where more than 3. 700 soldiers are buried, two thirds of whom are unidenti fied. The battle was recorded in the history books as a victory for the federals, a link in tha chain that won the Mississippi valley for the Union. But it was a costly scrap for both sides.
